Teens and Youth

The teenage years are some of the most turbulent times in a person?s life. It is equally turbulent for the teenagers as well as the parents of these teenagers! This article intends to look at some tips and tricks that parents can utilize in their interactions with their teenage children.

A situation where one's child is harming oneself is the last thing a parent is prepared to face. This can be especially confusing when the child continues to self-harm but says that there are no thoughts of ending one's life. This article will help you understand what Self-Harm is and tell you how you can talk to your teenager about the same.

When you consider what is going on during adolescence, a certain amount of squabbling and argument isn't surprising. Arguments often arise out of a clash of roles. As they mature, your teenager's job is to gain greater independence from you. Your job is to protect your teenager as much as possible as he or she exercises more freedom and acts more autonomously.

Communicating with children is not just one of the most pleasurable and rewarding experiences for both parent and child, but it also plays a major role in developing the personality of your child. This article will to help you learn certain communication tips that could enhance your relationship with your child.

Teenagers. Even the word is enough to strike terror in a parent's heart! If you've watched other parents with their teenage children or you have an older teenager yourself, you know this can be a very trying period for you and your child. There are a lot of adjustments to be made and anxieties to face, but you can also look forward to exciting changes in your child's development. This is where the Boy Scouts' motto "be prepared" can really help.

Failure is something that none of us are comfortable with and if it were possible, we would very likely banish from this world! But that again depends on what our conditioning and beliefs are about failure. What did the significant adults in our lives teach us about success and failure or how did they handle failure? Herein lie vital clues about our own belief systems, the influence this has on our take on the matter and how we talk to our children about failure.

One of the biggest concerns that parents have today is the way technology and media have taken over their children's lives. Let's face it. We live in a world governed by technology and stay connected through social media. Interaction between people is more often through electronic media rather than in person, even if the person is sitting across your cubicle in office! This trend extends to our children as well.

Children have the ability to crawl into all the spaces in our hearts and life. We often wonder what we were doing with our time before they were born! Our life revolves around their school, after school activities, health and emotions. Even our holidays are centered on their interests and needs. So when it is time to send them away to college overseas or another town for further education, or even marriage, it can be heart wrenching.

THANKS...for helping save lives.

Preventing Suicide : Reaching out and saving lives is the International Theme for World Suicide Prevention Day, 10th September 2015.

It is a myth that "people who talk about suicide do not do it". And it gives us great joy to remember all those situations where people have chosen to ignore this myth. Their concern and timely action of connecting troubled ones to professionals has contributed greatly towards the prevention of suicide.

We would like to express our gratitude to all those who helped us in reaching out to close to 2000 individuals who had been thinking about taking their lives during their difficult times.

We specially remember the companies who have initiated the EAP service for their employees; People Managers and HR's who were alert and sensitive to their team members' distress, who did not shy away from helping even post midnight; colleagues who encouraged their peers to seek help; The family members who did not overlook the signs of despair and willingly co-orperated with our counsellors to provide continuing care and support for their dear ones.

We would also like to acknowledge and appreciate all those individuals who, despite their own pain and hesitations to take help, reached out to us and trusted their counsellor to guide them to happier times.
